The pic with him/her holding the stick…love love love :) They are adorable when you see them on the reserves…scampering around mom and dad. I noticed that the daddy heffalumps keep a close eye on their little ones out there in the wild.

I tried to squee, because I ADORE Scootin’ Baby Trunkster (the video where s/he got stuck in a waterhole was heartbreaking in many ways!) but I have my 6th plague of the year, which this morning progressed from my sinuses into my throat, and all that came out was a strangled sound and then I coughed. For three minutes.

Er: daddy heffalumps don’t stay with the family group which is all babies,kids, teens and adult females. The females stay with their family. The daddies just visit when a female is in heat and then leave.

@lisaLassie…Hi! I was actually only talking about the family I saw on the reserve in Africa. I’m sure it’s quite different in the wild…but these were the only elephants on the reserve. It was sweet to see the Dad keep an eye on the bebeh trunkster.
